Figure: Software delivery lifecycle
Discovery clarifies users, constraints and acceptance criteria before code is written. Architecture defines responsibilities and interfaces, while implementation proceeds in reviewable increments. Testing confirms the agreed behaviour and quality attributes. Documentation, handover and monitoring prepare the system for dependable use and future improvement.
Who this is for
Clients needing a prototype, application, integration or modernisation path.
The problem we help solve
Starting with code before agreeing users, constraints and acceptance criteria creates expensive rework.
How KCS approaches the work
Work progresses through four connected stages, from clarifying the need to producing a result that can be reviewed and used.
Discover requirements and define acceptance criteria.
Design architecture, interfaces and quality attributes.
Implement iteratively with testing and review.
Document, hand over and plan maintenance.
Concrete examples
A plugin-based repository platform whose components can evolve independently.
A research prototype hardened into a documented client-ready application.
What you can receive
Requirements brief
Architecture
Tested software
Technical and user documentation
